Lost Something, Ody?

         NO! I’m not...It’s not what I mean! Shouts Ody, her friends look so mad at her and that’s a big mistake. “Then, why? Are you trying to make us be hated?” ask one of her friend. “ Not like that, I’m just asking!” Seriously, the thing is more complicated here. Suddenly Igar and Zayn come in the right time. “Hey-hey, what happend here?” ask Igar, then looks at Ody. “She thought that all of us stole her wallet,” answer Ody friend. Igar and Zayn look at Ody, they look like they want an explanation. “ Is that true?” asked Zayn, Ody shook her head. “NO, I just ask them if they know my wallet,” explain Ody. Now, she look like want to cry. Igar and Zayn are symphatic to her. “ I just ask a..hiks hiks...simple *sneeze* question, ‘by the way, do you know my wallet?’ She tries to explain. Igar and Zayn look again to her friends. “Hey guys, look Ody was just asked to all of you about her wallet, this just a simple problem, okay? Don’t have to make it big,” Igar explain. Their friends look shy. “Shall we help her?” asked Zayn following by ‘yes’ from all the people.
         Ody was at the toilet, she at the Friday-Saturday camping house with all of her friends from SMP Harapan Bangsa. She was happy, very happy, but when it was time to dinner Ody took her noodle bowl to the tent, she realized that something was missing. "Oh, no!" she put her bowl down and searched something as her predicted. " Where is my wallet?!" she shouts panickly. " I can't go home! No, I must ask someone." Then, she ran outside and started ask someone she met. She didn't realize that she made all of them misunderstood her!
            "Have you found it?!" Igar shouts so loudly that heard by everyone, they shook their heads. Ody sighed. " Gar, I will ask teacher's help okay?" she said to Igar. Igar nods. But, when Ody turned her body, something fell from her jacket pocket. " What is that?" Zayn ask, every eyes on her. "THAT'S MY WALLET!!" she shouted histerically. "WHAT??!" Igar, Zayn, and her friends shout at her. Ody just gave them an apologetically smile. "Peace!" 
"ODY!!!!"

We're The Second Winner


        Last term LIA held a Wall Bulletin Competition. Each class must make a wall bulletin in one meeting. The wall bulletin is about “Our Hope For LIA Tendean in the Future”. From that theme, we decided to give our wall bulletin`s theme modernization. Our teacher, Ms. Verra, suggested us to divide into 3 groups. The first is presentation, the second is decorator, and the third is article writer. We agreed to choose Mamad as a leader of our group. And then Ms. Verra chose Dian, Dewa, and Mia as presenters; Erin and Fitri as  decorators; Lia, Alya, and Angga as article writers.
Next day, we planned to take our picture wearing our batik uniform in Tugu Muda. But that was cancelled because many of us couldn`t come. While Alya had already borrowed a heavy tripod camera and SLR to the school. Alya felt dissappointed. We felt sorry to her.
Then we decided to change our gathering on the following Sunday in “Taman Makam Pahlawan”. Most of us had come there, but Dian, Dewa, and Fitri couldn`t come, so our plan to take a picture was cancelled again. Because we didn`t want to waste our time again, we used that time to prepare for the decoration. About 3 o`clock we went home.
And then, the deadline, Monday, came. We brought all the materials that we needed to make our wall bulletin. Lia and Angga came earliest. They interviewed the canteen keeper, Ms. Rahma, and the parking attendant about their hope for LIA in the future. Their answers were different from each other, but they hope the best for LIA.
After that, all of us gathered in the class to make the wall bulletin. We worked hard for the best that we can do. We decorated as uniquely as possible. After finishing our wall bulletin, we took a video for our presentation. Dian, Dewa, and Mia presented the best from them. Ms. Verra took our presentation by using her digital camera. All of us participated for the video.
Finally, on the following week, the announcement of the winner came....!!! We got the second winner and we got many prizes. We were so excited and celebrated together in our class. It was an unfogettable moment for our class. 


Awarded tokens of appreciation
with the other classes' representatives and their teachers
Awarded the second winner *posing with Ms. Sisca
Being congratulated xD
Admiring the Prize :-)

We're having fun doing it xD

CAR Dissemination

Dear readers,

On Thursday, December 15, 2011, we had a sharing program conducted by Miss Kiki. The sharing program was about writing. For your information, Miss Kiki conducted a research in her ET 11 class , and the research was about writing. Anyways, I'm not going to tell you about the content of the research, since it will be told by Miss Kiki later. Let's return to the sharing program. It was supposed to be held at 12 noon, but as usual, some of us came late, so it was held a bit later than 12. At first, only a few of us, teachers, showed up.

While waiting for the preparation


Still waiting? :-)


They listen, and they look happy :-p

Are you late, Miss? ;-p


Q/A session


The Person in Charge


All and all, the sharing program went really well, Miss Kiki, as the presenter, conveyed her research findings clearly, and it was really beneficial for us. Way to go, Miss Kiki! xD

Alright readers, we'll see you again on the next sharing program. Tata! xD

How Do I Get My Students to Speak?

Welcome to our blog everyone…… This time, we are going to discuss about an interesting topic about learning activity in speaking. Let’s just call this article How Do I Get My Students to Speak? Which is actually a presentation by Megan Lennon in Totally Terrific Tips for Teaching (T4) at an International English Workshop held by Lbpp-Lia Candi, at Grasia Hotel, on Feb 29 2012.


So we would like to share to you what was the presentation like by simply discussing the activity for speaking, which is by doing games. But first, here is further explanation, why games and activities are chosen.

a. First, it will make students active, by doing games in the class, teacher encourages his students to move, mingle with friends, share knowledge and socialize. When the students do all of that, they will be more active and active students are happy students. Else, they will learn maximally in this kind of state.

b. Often times, teacher caught students red handed when they play with their cell phone during the class. That’s why; doing games is an essential way to avoid that. By the time students participate in the games, they are concentrating on the activities and they will not do something else.

c. Game is actually an act of repetition or in other words, it’s a kind of drills. By using repetition, it will help students remember and study the material in a fun way.

There will be three parts of games we can use in particular section of learning. The first is games for icebreaker, second is games for learning new material and the last is games for introducing new vocabulary.

1. games for icebreakers

  • 20 questions

Teacher keeps one word in mind and gives chance for students to ask questions to be able to guess the word. Students should keep on asking until they get the word. It doesn’t have to be in 20 questions, it can be more.

  • Think pair and share

T plays music while S walking, T say a particular topic to be discussed. When the music stop, S find their partner by reaching eye contact with the friends standing close to them, then doing high five and talk about the topic.

2. Games for learning new material

  • Action verb circle

T and S make circle & say sentences (focused on verbs) then practice it in turns. The last S says all the sentences.

  • Magic verb spell

(Harry Potter vs Voldemort)
One S as Harry, one S as Voldemort. The other S as players. Voldemort spell charm to S “you are dancing” and the player do it. The player will stop when Harry comes and ask “what are you doing?” player should answer “I am dancing” to break the spell.

3. Games for introducing new vocabulary. 

  • Taboo vocabulary games

One S sit in chair and some S stand surrounding him, giving clues for S who sit to be able to guess the target words

  • Vocab circle chains

Use cue cards to get students recognize new vocabs by pairing up the questions and answer.


Alright everyone, I guess that is my simple description about some activities used in speaking. I do hope that it will be useful for you, thank you very much and best regards, byeee………..

High Intermediate 1: The Road to Winning The Contest


        One day, Ms Nana came to class and announced that there was a wall bulletin competition. At first, we felt so lazy, the topic was “ Our hope for our beloved LIA Tendean in the future. The committee gave us 5 days to finish the wall bulletin.
We were confused to match our schedule to make the wall bulletin. Finally, we agreed to make the wall bulletin on Friday at DP Mall. Out of 9 people, only 6 people could come. So, we decided to divide ourselves into two groups, the group who would design the wall bulletin and the group who would do the presentation. Dede, Nia, Ubi, Dita, Uchi, and Fadhia belonged to group 1, and Hadian, Retma, and Rifka belonged to group 2.
On March 2, 2012, group 1 gathered at DP Mall to make the concept for the wall bulletin. The concept was that we divided our hopes into 4 parts, they are:
1. Building
Our hopes for LIA Tendean’s building in the future. We hoped that LIA Tendean would always upgrade the facilities and the interface of the building, as expensive as the course fee.
2. Teachers
LIA Tendean’s teachers must be interactive, kind, young, energetic, and also attractive. They also must give us knowledge beyond the lessons and motivate the students to speak English well.
3. Students
We hoped that LIA Tendean gave a big discount for the students, so more students could come and join and make LIA Tendean as crowded as that in the past.
4. Trophy
We hoped that, in the future, LIA would hold a lot of students’ competitions that could make students speak English fluently, and LIA Tendean would award the best student, the best teacher, and the best class annually.

We’ve already got the concept of our wall bulletin. Next Tuesday, we would make the design and brief the presentation group about our concept.
On March 6, 2012, we brought the equipment to make a wall bulletin and everything was ready. So, we began to make it. We gave a home for our bulletin, it was BOHAI or BULLETIN OF HI ONE. It needed two hours to design and decorate the wall bulletin, while group 2 studied the presentation materials.
At 7:10 pm, the bulletin was ready to be presented. Ms. Verra came to our class to videotape our presentation. After the presentation was over, Ms. Verra said that it was the longest presentation of all the classes xD.
On March 13, 2012, Ms. Nana said that the wall bulletin’s winners would be announced at 6:30 pm. We were very nervous as we saw that the other wall bulletins were all great. Then we were called to join other classes in R.207. It was so crowded. First, all classes were given tokens of appreciation as the symbols of our participation. They were key chains with LIA logo on them. After that, Ms. Verra started to announce the winner. She had announced that the second winner was Intermediate 3 students from Monday-Wednesday class. Then, she announced the third winner, which was gotten by HI 2 students. We felt hopeless at that time, because we thought that HI 2’s wall bulletin was better than ours. But then, Ms. Verra announced that the first place was ours! We were so surprised, happy, and excited at the same time. After we took the prize, we took pictures, and finally, we went back to our class and of course, we had a big party! xDD

Announcing The Winners

All competition must have winners.






To choose three winners are not easy as pie. There are three judges involved in this contest, and we decide that Mr. Taufiq, Ms. Mima, and Ms. Arum are suitable for this honored position. 



The scores themselves are gotten from three categories, they judge a piece of wall bulletin from its design, content, and presentation. The score itself ranges from 1-5 ( refers to LIA's scoring system ). After counting the average scores of all participants, we got the winners! Yet, there are complicated ways to announce the winners. We have to gather classes in every slot and announce it. And....The winners are......*drums*
  • High Intermediate 1 got the First Place
  • Intermediate 3 got the Second Place
  • High Intermediate 2 got the Third Place




Our job is done, winners have been announced and prizes have been distributed, but what about the losers? 

Ooops!

They aren't losers, they just aren't the winners :-) How come we call all participants who have sacrificed lots of things as losers? Once again, they aren't losers, they just aren't winners xD

So long, folks! Thanks a million for your participation, we'll see you again in the next competition. :-))
